I have a feeling there will be some soccer players that show up to this event and you get a guy that has been kicking balls his whole life and without having a defense coming at you trying to block it and i could see both a 43 and 65 yarder being hit.Obviously kicking a soccer ball and football is different but a good couple days of practice should do it.

Parkey needs to go if only for that game where he missed 4 hitting the upright. It has mentally f***** him and it will always cause a mental hurdle as long as he is in a bears uniform. It has been obvious ever since he can't overcome it and we let it cost us

Bears fans wouldn't be so mad if it was one kick..that's all the national observer sees. It is that we held on to him when he has been struggling all year to overcome that one game. Just let both parties start new and let the misery end.

How many games did this guy lose us a game? Even the NE loss can be directed at him. That tiny leg can't kick it into the end zone and allows the most dangerous returner to do his thing. So much wrong with Parkey. If he was automatic, the little elf would be a fine kicker but you can't be this weak and still kick screwballs.

People feeling sorry for him don't get it. How many didn't sense a post bounce may be lurking on that kick. If he was clutch this year, we wouldn't all be calling for his release because of this miss. You either need a big leg or be near automatic. He lacks both.
We've punted this year when another kicker may have taken a shot and he isn't a guarantee to make it solidly into the endzone on kickoffs, especially outside. He sucks and lacks any value added attributes.

I don't feel sorry for Parkey. I doubt he does either. The hot little number he's married to isn't going to ditch him over a missed FG. As for the negative comments about "football is what I do" and "it's not who I am" are very short sighted. I work. My work does not define me as who I am. Work is what I do. I have a family, etc. What he said is correct. The other thing he says that more people shod take not of was "At the end of the day, Iím going to hold my head high and when things arenít going my way Iím going to think positive and keep swinging.Ē That's the way a defensive back has to think when he gets burned for a TD. Next series he still just has to be confident and go do what he does. Kris Bryant could strike out 3 times and his 4th time at the plate win the game with a HR. That's what Parkey is saying.

Somewhere along the way this season, he lost some consistency in his mechanics. He will work on that this off-season. Assuming he is in a bEars jersey next year, it would be nice if he worked on getting as little more strength, too, as he doesn't have quite the range of some of the other kickers in the league.

That’s the thing. All his biggest defenders are national people who have no fucking idea what the rest of his year looked like.

If he hadn’t missed 10 fucking kicks heading into the playoffs, most Bears fans probably wouldn’t be calling for his release. There’d be some, sure, but the point is that the vitriol against him as a *kicker*, not as a *person*, comes from the fact that we *fucking knew* our worst nightmare would be a playoff game coming down to a Cody Parkey kick.

Our worst nightmare came true. And it ended exactly how we expected it to end.

This is wayyyyy different than your typical miss-a-kick-to-lose-an-important-game situation.

103 kickers 103 misses.

The "meatballs" arn't getting paid millions now, are they? They poor guys just want to win the trip so see a NFL game next year. At least they tried. While you sit on your couch and open a bag of potato chips.
